Private Hire

Christmas Party Venue In Leicester

Big banqueting halls suit big companies. If you're after something smaller, sharper and genuinely private, Watson's is one of Leicester's most distinctive Christmas party venues — a full bar to yourselves, not a shared table in a shared function room.

Why Watson's For Christmas

An Intimate Alternative To The Big Function Room

Most Christmas party venues in Leicester city centre mean sharing a room — and a bar queue — with a few hundred strangers. Watson's does it differently: exclusive private hire, your own bar, and decor that already feels like a party before the first drink arrives.

It works whether you're a team of 15 or a company of 50, and because we only take a handful of full private hire bookings each December, your event gets our full attention on the night.
